ten to his parents, which shows the
splendid spirits of the Bogalusa boys!is
who are in France :
Dear Home Folks:
1 guess you have already learned |
our ship has arrived over here. We
all enjoyed the trip fine. Some of
the boys were seasick the first day
or so. but I was not sick at all. Have
seen lots of things that I used to
read and study about when I was in
school, but never dreamed of seeing
them
V/e are all having a dandy good (
time, have not been blue at all and I (
am going to guard against being blue
and worrying about home. Of course,
I would like to be at home with you
all once in a while, but we must win
this war, and then be at home. Now
mama I don't want you all to worry!ply
about me and Claudy, for we are
all right. I haven't heard from him,
but I am going to try to find him
«oon. Bet he is a dandy over here,
Mama, everything over here is so
nice, until I can't help but like it.
Our American Y. M. C. A. men
kre just as nice and good to us and
they are doing great work over here.
The boys over here are friendly and
good, so when you think of us, just
think about the sights we will see
and the good times we are having,
and write us often. Will write every
time that I can, and mama now
please don't worry apd then I won't
worry. Tell papa to be good and all
the children to be sweet and good.
Must stop now mama, write as of
ten as you can and give my love to
all.
Lovingly, your son,
ESCO S. WARNER.

On November 11 the American pen
pie will start a one week's drive to
raise the largest amount of money
ever given outright by any people in
the history of the ,world.
The drive will be a new thing under
the sun. For the first time Protes
tants, Catholics and Jews, forgetting
all their differences, will line up shoul
der to shoulder, welding 'their individ
ual organizations together in their
common devotion to the boys in the
cantonments and over there. This
amalgamation of the seven great agen
cies engaged in war work is one of the
fine developments which have been
brought about by the war and under
the wise guidance of President Wilson.
The seven organisations which to
gether will make this united appeal
are the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., Na
tional Catholic War Council and K.
of C., the Jewish Welfare Board, the
War Camp Community Service, the
American Library Association and the
Salvation Army. Each of them will
need funds this Fall ; each had planned
a separate campaign for support
Now, acting on the suggestion of the
President's letter of September 5, the
aeven campaigns will be rolled Into
one. The American people will be
spared the burden of seven separata
appeals, and the nation will have a»
opportunity to demonstrate splendidly
that men and women of all creeds at
home can work together, as men of
all creeds over there are fighting and
dying together.
Dr. John R. Mott, whom President
Wilson has spoken of as one of the
ablest and most use/ul men of his gen
eration, has been selected Director
General of the drive. It is Interesting
to note that Dr. Mott's name was
placed in nomination by John G. Agar
of the National Catholic War Council
and seconded by Mortimer L. Schiff of
the Jewish Welfare Board. The gen
eral committee having the campaign
In charge contains such well known
names as Raymond B. Fosdick, Chair
man of the Commission on Training
Camp Activities; George W. Perkins,
Chairman of the Finance Committee
of the U. S. Steel Corporation ; James
F. Phelan of Hornblower and Weeks;
Honorable Myron T. Herrick, former
ambassador to France; Cleveland H.
Dodge, George Gordon Battle, Mrs.
Henry P. Davison and Frank A. Van
derlip, president of the National City
Bank. — * —
In every city, county and town the
campaign will be In charge of the big
gest men of the community.
Together these seven organizations
represent a work that is staggering in
its proportions. They have more than
15,000 uniformed workers, standing
shoulder to shoulder with the boys ev
ery step of the way from home to the
front line trenches. They operate more
than 3,600 buildings and ship 50G tons
of supplies to the boys in France ev
ery week. Fifteen miles of film set
sail for the other side each week un
der their direction, and the regular
weekly attendance of soldiers and sail
ors at their motion picture shows is
more than 2,500,000. The Bibles fur
nished to the boys since the war broke
out would. If piled one on another,
make a pile more than twenty miles
high.
"Morale," said Napoleon, "Is as oth
er factors In war as three to one." By
which be meant that one man who la
kept contented and happy is better
than three men who are discouraged
and homesick. It is the business of
these seven great agencies to help
maintain morale. They are keeping
up the fine fighting edge of our boys,
and by their ministrations, helping to
pat added power into onr army and
navy and so hasten the hour of victory
when they will bring our boys home
again.
It Is predicted by national leaders
that this great victory drive will "go
over the top" in a larger way than any
campaign that has preceded it.
